The Mixteca region
of Oaxaca is one of the poorest areas in Mexico. Indigenous Mixtec, Triqui
and other groups from this region now make up a large percentage of the
migrants who have left to work in the United States. But many people try
to stay on the land and farm, despite the difficulty. Farmers sell produce,
while an old machine a man makes tortillas, on Juxtlahuaca's market day.
